Abstract
A method for preparing feed material for a catalytic depolymerisation process, the method comprising the steps of: separating feedstock into two or more feedstock streams based on one or more properties of the feedstock, introducing each of the two or more feedstock streams into one or more process vessels, processing the feedstock streams in the presence of a catalyst in the process vessels under conditions of elevated temperature in order to produce two or more intermediate feedstock streams, and blending the two or more intermediate feedstock streams to form the feed material.

A method for preparing feed material for a catalytic depolymerisation process, the method comprising the steps of:
- separating feedstock into two or more feedstock streams based on one or more properties of the feedstock,
- introducing each of the two or more feedstock streams into one or more process vessels,
- processing the feedstock streams in the presence of a catalyst in the process vessels under conditions of elevated temperature in order to produce two or more intermediate feedstock streams, and
- blending the two or more intermediate feedstock streams to form the feed material.
A method for preparing feed material for a catalytic depolymerisation process, the method comprising the steps of:
- introducing a feedstock stream into a process vessel,
- processing the feedstock stream in the presence of a medium in the process vessel consisting of an ionic liquid or mixture of ionic liquid in order to produce the feed material.
A method for the production of diesel comprising the steps of:
- introducing a feed material into a reaction vessel, the reaction vessel being associated with one or more agitation devices adapted to agitate the feed material so as to ensure the substantial homogeneity of the feed material,
- treating the feed material in the reaction vessel under conditions of elevated temperature in order to vaporise at least a portion of the feed material to form a vaporised feed material,
- introducing the vaporised feed material to a fractionating column to form a diesel fraction,
- removing the diesel fraction from the fractionating column and
- condensing the diesel fraction to form diesel, and
- wherein the method is operated on a continuous basis.
A method for the removal of sulphur and/or nitrogen from diesel, the method comprising the steps of
- introducing diesel containing sulphur and/or nitrogen into a vessel containing one or more ionic liquids, and
- contacting the one or more ionic liquids and the diesel such that at least a portion of the sulphur and/or nitrogen in the diesel is separated therefrom.
